> thinkers and policy-makers have begun to echo this view, as thumbing 
> through the pages of the conservative press makes clear. Hungry for hard- 
> hitting criticism of the Iraq war? You're as likely to find it these days

> affairs quarterly, and the recently launched American Conservative as in 
> publications on the left. Want a rundown on the billions in government 
> subsidies that the Bush Administration has lavished on corporations even

> the website of the libertarian Cato Institute, which bristles with such 
> information. How about sober analyses of the multibillion-dollar budget 
> deficits the Administration has overseen? There's no better source than 
> the staid, conservative business press.
